Boating Atlantic

 

Feb 8, 2018

Published annually since 2006, Boating Atlantic is a guide to marinas, yacht clubs, and destinations for boaters cruising and visiting Canada’s Atlantic Provinces. With current event and attraction listings, the guide is a handy publication for all boaters to have aboard. Ten thousand copies are printed each year then distributed at the Halifax International Boat Show, the Moncton Boat Show, and at marinas and yachts clubs around Atlantic Canada.

The 2018 guide is published by Lily Media in partnership with the Atlantic Marine Trades Association (AMTA), which is the official voice of the recreational boating industry in Canada’s Maritime Provinces. AMTA is a not-for-profit organization governed by a volunteer board of directors working with its stakeholders to grow and enhance boating in the Atlantic Region of Canada and support its members in their endeavours.

AMTA is the owner of the Halifax International Boat Show and a partner in Discover Boating, a national initiative to attract more people to the recreational boating lifestyle.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
